Abstract
Microorganism and insects move through fluid such as water and air by moving their (part of) body. The mechanisms of the locomotion and the flight depend on the flow characteristics. We discuss here the microorganism locomotion before butterfly's flight focusing on the difference. An analytical attempt for flapping flight is also discussed.
